Hoggs of Fife Mens Womens Braemar Wellington Boots

I like the basic Hunter wellingtons as they grip my thin ankles - I can walk all day in them - but they are now pricey. The Hogs are virtually the same and cost less, plus the quality is as good as the Hunters.

Oh dear here we go again ....is there any Wellington boot capable of lasting at least a year ?Very pleased to begin with comfy fit and seemed well made but nine months in and they are beginning to crack on the leg ,fortunately no cracking on the foot part yet and letting in water ,but disappoining none the less .Only worne for dog walking daily when needed ,is there any boot out there that can stand up to a dog walkers usage ?

I ordered these boots and did ask the question, what is the circumference around the top of the boot? I received two replies of 17”. On that basis I ordered them. However, when they arrived I found that they were too narrow around the top of the boot and were nowhere near 17”. It occurred to me that the one of the responses was from a lady who had ordered a size 10 for her husband and they were 17”. As I take a size 4 the top of the wellington was likely to be a lot less than 17”.’They are quite long as well. I am 5’ 4” and found that they were uncomfortable at the back of the knee when sitting or bending the knee. However, after contacting Hoggs of Fife, they were very helpful and sent me a label to return them for a full refund.That said, I was very disappointed because the boots themselves are excellent quality and extremely well made and I really wanted to keep them. But it was not to be.

A great pair of wellies for walking the dogs , a good fit ,I'm a size 9 and ordered a size 9 there is some room for a thick pair of socks ,there is a small lip on the outside just behind your heel that's great for hooking one foot on whilst you pull the other foot out of the boot , great idea, they are quite long up the leg but that doesn't cause me any problems.

Good quality boot but better suited for wide calf. Sadly sent back as skinny calfs. Actually shoe size fit true to size and allows for thicker sock if wanted.

Just after a year they started leaking really badly. As out of warrantee, they won't replace even though they are clearly faulty. For this amount of money - you expect them to last quite a bit longer than 12 months without a leak. Would not recommend again.

No more Hunter wellies for me, these are fantastic, comfy, made well, good quality good price even look nice and fit my leg, trendy to, considering these are wellington boots im happy with these and pleased I made the choice to get these, I reccomend these.

These would be a good pair of wellies, except that the top of the boot around your calf are so large that they make a flapping noise when walking, and are like rain funnels! Do not be deceived by the buckles, they do not tighten. If you have big muscles calves, they are for you! Such a shame.
